Blogs are like Housework!

I have decided that creating a website and writing Blogs is a lot like housework! There is always more that can be done, and other things that require regular upkeep.



Actually, just like housework building a website and writing blogs is all about what I decide I want to put into it. Just as I know it's always better to wash the dinner dishes before bed--because the work will be harder if I leave it until the morning... I also know there are some things best done when putting together a nice site.

Of course, I have never had much difficulty in paying someone else to clean the bathrooms and floors in my home--and there are some things I am happy to pay to have taken care of when building a social network! Database junk and some of the host level programming for my big website is one thing I would rather pay to have done correctly.

I write on several blogs and just like a good mother my Blogs are a real reflection of my efforts. But, just like laundry it seems just when I feel all caught up I turn around and find a pile of new things to wash, dry, fold and put away.

I have been doing housework and laundry for almost 30 years now--and working on websites since 2005 and it is my firm conclusion these types of personal obligations bring on the same kind of "Never Finished" stress...

Some of us just feed on the never ending projects and the one great thing is that the Internet has made it possible for those of us who do enjoy the torture of a never finished project to share our joy and sorrows with each other!

I write a "to-do" list for housework... and for website work how about You?

Personalize Blog Posts with MyLiveSignature.com

I have seen several bloggers who have taken the extra step and personalized their signatures. It's something I have wanted to do but, until today I never took the time.

I found a very easy and simple website to create this signature:



Creating this signature didn't take much time at all, At MyLiveSignature.com and didn't even require registration with the website. However I did register and it seemed like there may have been more tools when I logged in.

I am very satisfied with my FREE signature considering it didn't require any special skills or take much time. I had been interested in an Animated Signature and found that at the MyLiveSignatures.com the animation feature is a "paid service". So for now I will be holding out and looking for a place to create a free animated signature...

Somethings, I don't mind paying for but, my name blinking or scrolling is pretty low on the priority list of Blog Bling-Bling I am willing to pay for.

While I was there I made a Signature for HappyMomAnna to add to some of my HMA things..



MyLiveignature.com offers several methods to ADD the signature to your social networking sites...




I am sure I will go back and play around with things or find other signature sites! It's always fun when I find a useful tool to make something simple and unique!
